"Here is the Moss Icon discography (for the most part, excluding the split lp w/ Silver Bearings). This Cd shows the transformation of this east coast based punk band into the emo "ish" styles found in such mass appeal (corrupted too) today. The songs become longer and artier which is a good thing here as the cd progresses. this doesn't include side b of the ebulliton/verminscum lp. A solid listen. The guitarist went on to be in Universal Order of Amrageddon (discog on Kill Rock Stars)."

This discography is absolutely awesome.

"Moss Icon is the kind of band that impresses you more with each time you listen to them. The discography contains both earlier stuff, which is way more aggressive, and later songs, which are very beautiful and yet political, and are, in my opinion, really great songs. I feel that this CD is definately worth listening to."

Amazing amazing amazing
